SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A Street Lighting Improvement District, also known as SLID, is established with the approval of the
Governing Board of the SLID. The City Council serves as the Governing Board, and the City administers
the operations of each SLID, formed for the purpose of operating and maintaining street lighting located
within the SLID. By Arizona law, a SLID cannot incur debt. The assessment is imposed on each property
within a SLID and is collected through the Maricopa County property tax system. The assessed amount
for energy costs for all SLIDs, is $647,700 for fiscal year 2027, with their respective allocations identified
in the Ordinance.
BENEFITS:
The establishment and operation of SLIDs contribute to community safety by ensuring that streets are
well lighted and that power supplied by the electric utility is paid for by the property owners benefitting
from the street lighting adjacent to their property and neighborhood.
FUTURE ACTION:
SLIDs will be administered and managed by staff throughout fiscal year 2027.
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
Sufficient revenue will be raised to ensure power costs are offset within the respective SLID.
